Note: This really happen to me.

This is what I did right before I started to write this blog. I was going online to do my research for two of my assignments. 10 minutes later, my hand phone rang. I picked it up. The call is from a friend that I hadn't seen for more than two years. I was so shocked to hear from her because I wasn't that close to her. I'm close to her before we got separated into different classes. We were talking about the times when we were in high school. In some circumstances, the topic of high school history has changed back to present time. Questions like "Where to you study now?" and "How was life for you so far?" popped up when we were busy talking. I listened to her every word. She started to talk about her life in college and how she handles her problems in college. That time, I wasn’t really listening to her. I was happily clicking away on my laptop finding for my information while listening to the music. When she asked me a question, I just gave her a short response and she continued talking. While I was finding my information, I started to chat with my friends in MSN and also text messaging my other friend. I multitasked badly. Everything I did distracted me from listening to my friend talking.

This is an example of distraction. There are many reasons for poor listening. One of them is the situation above. This is media influences. I let the music fill my ears instead of carefully listening to my friend. There are also Physical noise involve such as clicking on my mouse and also typing on my keyboard.

And for that, I conclude that this post is written by:
